Hello All,
I have a 2010 chevy equinox LS 2.4L
I was using a loadpro connected to my dvom, as a learning experience to study and figure out my starter relay base.,so I could crank my starter by jumping terminals 30 and 87. So first I removed the starter relay.
I connected the black ground lead to the car negative battery post. I then placed the red loadpro lead into the base termials one by one. I found 12v on one of the terminals, I assumed that was terminal 30. I found zero volts on terminal 85, I assumed this was the ground side of the coil. I found "ghost voltage" on terminal 86, I assumed this was the power side of the coil, with no voltage yet. I found zero volts on terminal 87.
I then used a jumper wire with a 30 amp in line fuse to jump what I thought was terminal 30 to terminal 87to crank over my starter
Well, I got smoke out of the fuse box that I saw when I used the jump wire
I now have a DTC P0615
I have a check engine light only with the key in the on position, but the car DOES start, and when it starts the check engine light goes out. I checked fuses I thought were involved, and they are good. Could I have blown does a fuse-able link? Should I pull the fuse box to try and find a blown fuse-able link or a bad wire I cooked?
Please advise.
Thanks
